Lulu and Milagro's Search for Clarity | Happy paperback release to YA author Angela Velez

article image placeholderUploaded by @bowie
It made me want to go on a grand adventure and take a risk. I love this book so much. And so I could not be happier than to talk with you, Angela, and to celebrate its paperback release. Congratulations. I have my copy in my hand right now, the hardback, and I cannot wait to see the paperback out in the world in more bookstores

Has there been anything surprising on the journey that you have learned that maybe has surpassed or has been different than what you expected when you first began this quest of having your first novel in the world?

Or that seems to be the most valuable piece of advice to writers who are just starting out, especially those who are taking the big step of working on their very first novels

#askafailure

I love to write and think about failure, and one of the things that I've been really enjoying talking with other writers about is how failure has been a part of their journey, whether it's through the publication process or just through the drafting. One of the things I remember so clearly and vividly about your writing when we were in workshop together was just how strong the voice was. I would follow the voice wherever. I just had such a blast being with the voices on the page

#whyimobsessed

Lastly, because it is so fun, we would love to hear anything that you are currently obsessed with. It could be a book or anything in relation to the paperback release of your book, but it also could be a recipe, an animal, a new outfit, some stickers, crafting materials, whatever it is that is bringing you great joy and happiness right now, we would love to hear about it
